Beautiful wool
Wore this to work meetings. Is short enough to wear as a blazer for work but can also work as a coat

Tight but big
This brand and material is very flattering if you get the right size. It's always a length issue at my height (5 foot 3). This was too big in the neck and back area and didn't fit my body top right.

Cute blazer for work

Great for work
Wore to work it fit well. It's not going to be as flattering as something in different material for this body shape and size given the thick cloth but it still was great for work and looked good enough. Very heavy goodn quality material.

I'm sure there's a body type for this very nice sweater but it lose sloppy on mine. Like I threw a towel around myself. Couldn't even wear it out. Good fabric and fit just looked really bad

Work dress in the winter
Dress is length and style appropriate for work. It's also thick so you can wear it in the winter (I wore with black stockings). Fit was so so. I'm 160 lbs and wore a size 10. It fit but awkwardly. If you have a big just may have to go a size up. The dress is also narrow in midsection area so if you have a belly that will be a problem.

I got so many compliments from both men and women when I wore this dress out. It looks VERY expensive and elegant. The jacket is a loose fitting coat (part of the style) similar to a poncho fit.

nice long sleeve dress but runs very small
This dress looked like it was perfect for work. However, I sent it back because it was way too tight. Very form fitting. I ordered the medium and am approx. size 6-8. Go a size up if you do order.

fits like a glove! super flattering even if you have a tummy
This dress was so flattering. My arms a little big and the cut of the sleeves helps hide this. It also cinched my waist to create a slimming effect.

perfect work jacket and elegant for dinner- expensive looking!
I wore this jacket to work and then to a dinner party. It's high quality and looks great on (even as a petite person). The jacket was a bit difficult to latch close so I'd recommend going up a size if you have a little bit of a midsection. I got the 8 and am usually a 6 or 8 but wish I had gotten the 10.

so chic, picture doesn't do this shirt justice!
This shirt is extremely flattering. Because I am petite (5"3) I am always having difficulty with the fit of clothing. This shirt was perfect. It was a great length (came just below my hips) and i got so many compliments at work. I am usually a 6 or 8 (150lbs with my weight distributed everywhere.. my arms a little big) and the 6 was perfect.

nice, warm dress
This dress is thick sweater material which is perfect for the fall. My favorite part of the dress was the upper part. The turtle neck has three buttons on the back which makes it look very stylish. I'm 5"3 and the dress came just at my knees which works well for work but may be overly conservative if you plan on wearing it somewhere like a party. It wasn't the greatest fitting dress on my body type but looked well enough to wear to work.

perfect blazer for fall
This blazer is super cute. This is the third blazer from this brand that I have rented from RTR. Once you have been renting for a couple of months, you start to notice a pattern with sizing and designers. Derek Lam blazers have all run the same for me. The 8 fits perfectly. I have a little bit of a belly which made the jacket a little tight in the 6. Sleeves are a bit long for my height but you can easily roll them up once or twice and it makes the jacket look even chicer!

great dress
This dress was great. I wore it to work because i had a lunch date. The dress is of great quality (thick fabric) so will keep you warm. I wore it with black high leather boots to give it a more chic look. The fit was perfect. Only item to note is the dress is a bit short. I'm 5"3 and the dress was the same length as the model in the photo (if you are tall this may pose a problem if you intend to wear at work).

Stylish for work and after, runs big
I wore this dress with tall black boots and put a thin belt just above the waist for extra style. This dress is great for layering and playing with accessories. Dress came just above my knees. It was a little big I got the 6 and often wear an 8.

Beautiful shirt perfect for professionals in the work place
This shirt is beautiful. It's a creative and feminine take on the traditional dress shirt. I wore it to work and everyone commented how nice and expensive it looks. One thing to note is it runs very large. I hover between a 6 and 8 and I got the 6. This was too big although I wore it and it looked fine. A 4 woulf have fit better and I'm almost never a 4.

great fit and good for work or as casual wear
This jacket fit really nicely. If you hover between a 6 and an 8 i would get the 8 (to ensure you can close the jacket with the button and also the arm is a little tight.. the 8 just fit but i'd imagine the 6 would have been very snug. Great for work or to pair with jeans

Runs big and a little long if you're short
This dress was really great quality and was nice. however, it was too big and too long. If you hover around a 6 and 8 (like myself) you'll want to get the 6. I can go either way and I usually get the 8 to play it safe but the dress runs big. Also, if you're petite you may not like the length.. it hit my knee.

Beautiful but runs very small if you're curvy
This dress is beautiful and appears to be really flattering. however, i had to send it back because i could not even get it past my butt! The dress runs very narrow so if you have any type of curve (i wouldn't consider myself extremely curvy but i do have a bit of a butt), it will not fit. I got the medium and if you have curves you will want to go up to the Large. If you're extremely curvy, the large may not even fit.. it's just the cut of the dress.

Okay for work
This shirt runs very large but I wore it anyway . The shirt is a looser/ thin material so it could be good for summer. The color is very nice. For someone my height, it will be too long so you must tuck in. If you're looking for a starched/ crisp shirt this isn't for you. But if you're looking for a more light/ airy type then the shirt will suit you well.

Perfect for work and drinks after
This jacket is very nice. The quality is excellent and it will also keep you warm as it's a thicker material. It's also a looser fitting blazer which makes it super comfortable (compared to tailored styles). It's very flattering and fits great. The sleeves were a little long for me so I just rolled them up which made the jacket look even better. Jacket is trendy looking and everyone at work was complimenting me on it.

Perfect as a base for layering!
I wore this underneath a fur vest and it looked great. I struggled a little with tieing the bow as seen in the photo so I ended up just letting the ends hang down which did not look bad. It's a long shirt and is baggy.. but that's the style so just know that it's not going to be form fitting if that's what you're looking for. Due to the length I had no choice but to tuck it in.

Fashion show ready- dramatic style
This is an oversized fur vest. I wore it to a fashion show during NYC Fashion Week. It goes great with a pair of dressy slacks. I wore a white blouse underneath and then also added a beige sweater. It's perfect for layering and gives a glamorous/ dramatic effect!

Beautiful but too long
This dress is so pretty. Unfortunately I am 5'3 and it's too long. Comes in just below the knee. It also runs a bit big so it didn't hold everything in like the tighter fit does . I have a fairly short torso and the dress didn't fall in the right spot .if you're petite I'd be weary or perhaps go down a size and the tighter fit may pull the dress up a bit more.

Cute but better for taller people
This dress is really nice and the color is perfect for summer. If you have a big bust his dress looks flattering but of course you can wear a padded bra if not. If you have a little bit of a belly you'll need to wear some shape wear with this as it's not as tight as some of the other herve Leger dresses. Also, if you're petite the length is a bit long. I'm 5'3 and it came just above the knee. It wasn't the most flattering on my body shape but I'm sure it looks great on others .

best dress i have ever worn
Anyone familiar with Herve Leger dresses will know that the quality is outstanding! Also it holds everything in (i have a bit of a stomach). Normally tight dresses may not be the greatest unless your stomach is flat but this dress is super flattering. It looks best on curvey women! THe only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because the top area was a bit gappy (under the arms and the top wasn't tight enough). I have broad shoulders from working out so i was surprised this was the case. this could be an issue from some women (i wore a padded bra and that helped) The bottom section of the dress fit perfectly.

Not flattering for body type
I ended up not wearing this outfit. I am short (5"3) and i have big thighs. It did not look flattering at all. The item looks lovely in the bag but did not look good on me with my body type. The shorts very obvious in the front and kind of looked like they were baggy. It's a nice piece but is not meant for my body type (petite of medium hourglass build).

everyone complimented me at work
The item fit well. If you're someone with a large stomach this wont work because (you cant see in the photo) but the top actually opens in the middle ..it's draped so if you're stomach is large it would poke through and the shirt wouldn't hang right. The color is nice and i got so many compliments at work! Looks expensive I wore a tank underneath it because it can blow up when the wind blows.
